search by description and search for shoes

Hi, thanks for the reply. I searched before the item will be charged for gst only but I read some forumer review said it depends on luck.. just wanna db confirm before I place any order. So you have any experience before bought apparel or shoes from overseas that no extra tax or handling fee will be imposed if the value below RM500?

If they tax you then can point them to that website.. it says non taxable right, so they shouldn't

I bought shirts before not shoes unfortunately

Okay thanks bro!

Going to buy a smartwatch(android wear) from China. Around RM500 in total(128 usd). How much is the tax? Smartwatch under which category? Thanks

Hi guys , I bought a bluetooth headphone which is ATH-WS660BT from ebay which shipped from Japan , I checked http://tariff.customs.gov.my/ and it says NIL mean I only need pay 6% GST right? For GST how do I pay online or only can go to nearest KASTAM office to pay? Besides , does headphone need something like sirim permit? This is my first oversea purchase feel like damn worry now..

Is coffee machine at 30%???
Is there anyway to avoid this? Seller only uses FedEx.

Not sure on the GST payment but for bluetooth headphone, it is require for sirim permit coz of the bluetooth.
You may try contact Ansarcomp 01132909022. They're agent for sirim permit.

Thank you for the info but actually I received parcel without doing anything...seems like I'm lucky

so does companies that import to resell, they have to pay 2 times the 6% and incurred double taxation?

let's say product invoice RM400, freight/shipping cost RM200.

Is it taxable?

As far as I know shipping cost will be calculated, they will use the total cost(product cost + shipping) as the final price of whether the package will be taxed or not.

if that is true, isn't that wrong accounting? how can one be taxed more if it shipped far away?

let's say you import to sell, and your company get tax another round again on income tax.

I'm not sure what you mean by company being taxed another round, all the custom taxes that I paid so far were for personal use, I only know custom here will use the final price(product price+shipping) as reference for taxing purpose.

GST (goods & services tax) ≠ Income Tax

is child car seat still being taxed at 30% + GST?

Nope. Only 6% GST under Tariff Code 8715.00.0000

Trying to import Jarvis fully standing Desk frame only

What is the tax? Does it require sirim / suruhanjaya tenaga?
I called the Kelana Jaya Kastam and apparently they don't need any certification. Just declare as 9403909000 "other furniture". Can anyone confirm or deny this? Thanks

When did this change occur? I read that it was charged at 30% before

Opsss..my bad. That Tariff Code is for Baby Carriages.
For seat used in @ for motor vehicle is under Tariff Code 9401.20.1000 which have 30% Import Duty + 6% GST
